1st day of 263km, with food, tlc and an optional sleep stop back at base, then a 146km loop on Sunday, mostly within the pre-1972 boundary and former Saxon Kingdom. From the chalk hills of the NW to the marshy coast.

Info controls keep riders mostly to the prettier lanes, but there are a number of additional good café and pub-stop options.
